Section 7: Fuel System
Fuel Safety
Fuel selection
Some generators are fueled by the same system used to fuel the chassis engine. Check the
generator manufacturer and the chassis manufacturer information to help determine the type
of fuel best suited for this dual application.
Fuel filler cap
Remove the fuel filler cap by slowly turning it coun -
terclockwise and waiting for any “hiss” noise to stop.
Then unscrew the cap all the way. To close the fuel
filler cap, securely turn the cap clockwise until you
hear clicking sounds.
Filling the fuel tank
If you spill fuel on the motorhome, clean it up im-
mediately. Fuel can dull or soften paint and dam-
age other surfaces. Use care when fueling your mo-
torhome.
Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled.
If you have further questions, consult your dealer or Customer Service for
assistance.
 Always shut OFF the vehicle engine while refueling.
 Do not bring or store fuel or other flammable liquids inside the mo -
torhome because a fire or explosion may result.
 Before refueling, extinguish all smoking materials and any open flames.
 Before refueling, always turn OFF all spark producing appliances (i.e.,
water heaters, furnaces, etc.).
 Do not overfill the fuel tank(s). The pressure in an overfilled fuel tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and/or fire.
 Fuel spills represent a serious fire hazard, and should be cleaned up im -
mediately.
 Never restart an engine or re-light any pilot lights while raw fuel is pres-
ent.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN FIRE, DEATH OR SERI-
OUS INJURY.
Do not replace the fuel fill cap with one of a different type. Only use a cap
specified for your motorhome. Use of a substitute cap may create excessive
fuel system pressure, resulting in fuel station damage and improper operation
in a collision.
